Mosimane fumes after a stalemate

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane vented his frustration at his players and poor decision making from the officials after their 1-1 draw with Golden Arrows.

 

Mosimane believes that his side had more than enough chances to secure the spoils, and has warned some of his star players that they face time on the bench after failing to come to life in the game.

 

“It’s always that case, if you don’t start very well, it’s always difficult to turn things around in the second-half,” said the former Bafana Bafana tactician.

 

“I am very unhappy with a few big players of Sundowns – I think some of the people must go to the bench, because they are one-game wonders. They play well once and in the next game it’s another thing.

 

“We could have wrapped it up in the first-half. To change the game is a problem – now I had to risk and play an open game in the second-half. But I was prepared to go forward and open at the back than sit and say we will settle for a draw.

 

“There were so many chances, we made so many mistakes.

 

“We have to dig deeper now. Maybe it is a good wakeup call ahead of our Nedbank Cup on Friday.”

 

The coach was also unhappy with the decision to not award Edward Manqele a penalty after he went down under a challenge from Nkosingiphile Gumede.

 

“I don’t want to talk about the issue of Manqele and the goalkeeper. We all saw it, and it is a foul. It is bad officiating, but I don’t want to blame referees, but this is how you lose the game. People are not competent and they must shape up.”
